gsegura 1 Posted June 2, 2010 Thank you everybody! There is a support group meeting once a month in UC irvine. I finally found a doctor here in Orange County, Dr. Quebbemann in Newport Beach from the N.E.W. program and they also have a support group every other Tuesday. He is going to do my surgery on May 6th. He started quoting me 18k but I was able to talk him down to 14K. I thought on going to Mexico but my husband insisted to do it close to home. I wish you all the best and I'm look forward to stay in touch. I'm a little stressed out and I may be looking for support from all of you. To imagine.dream.inspire: where in Southern Ca are you?

I have a few friends in Dana Point, I spend most of my life in Laguna Beach where I went to school and work sometimes. When did you have your surgery and do you have any regrets?

birthdaygift2010 0 Posted June 3, 2010 Still finding my way around this forum. I live in Calimesa...45 miles west of Palm Springs, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles just off of I-10. Surgery in five days. Had the final pre-op tests this morning. I am excited and of course a little nervous. I am self pay, and this is my 70th Birthday gift to myself, surgery is 9 days before my birthday. I am beginning a new chapter in my life. :thumbup: It is a very good thing!! :party4:Enjoying the happy dance for the new me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
